Will there be a new Dev Kit?

Will there be a new dev kit coming out any time soon? Because of the consumer product getting closer and closer?

From a hardware stand point are we looking a huge difference between the DK2 and consumer version?

    And not only "released" for developers but everyone else as well!!
    Even ordinary folk!
    The last thing we want is a repeat of the previous HMD's and the awful updates for the "developers"
    Let's hope this time they've got it right.
    Plug and play even..or is that too much to ask?

    I don't have a sense of the OT question being answered?

      I want to have a UNITY app available on Rift launch day.
      I am an indie developer (oculus wont give me anything early)
      I have a DK2.
      My project is performs well on DK2.
      My project uses default xbox controller setup.


    If I build my project using UNITY's built in VR integration reasonably close to the Rift release date will it then be considered "Rift Ready?"

    Thanks

    I would also like some guidance as to the resolution and refresh of the 2016 Consumer version, we want to have our title ready to coincide with the release, and are in performance testing now.
    Having a dev-kit is useless if we cannot target the release hardware.

    Answering my own question, the release rift will be 2160×1200 at 90Hz.
